I am using ASP code to send mail via CDONTS. My question
is on formatting the body of the e-mail. I want to use
HTML to put the form fields submiited in my form into
tables! An example of what I have is this:


" FP_SavedFields('name1')" &_

When the email comes it is formnatted with tables just
how I want it, but instead of the value of the form field
in the e-mail it simply says FP_SavedFields('name1')


The email output looks like this:


The following is the name and address of the person
submitting:

FP_SavedFields('name1') FP_SavedFields('name2')
FP_SavedFields('company')
FP_SavedFields('address1')
FP_SavedFields('address2')
FP_SavedFields('city'), FP_SavedFields('state')
FP_SavedFields('zip') FP_SavedFields('country')
Phone: FP_SavedFields('phone')
Fax: FP_SavedFields('fax')
FP_SavedFields('email')


Information on the following products was requested:
FP_SavedFields('Frink') FP_SavedFields('Swenson')
FP_SavedFields('Henderson')
FP_SavedFields('Everest') FP_SavedFields('Stetco')
FP_SavedFields('Trackless')
FP_SavedFields('Johnston') FP_SavedFields('York')
FP_SavedFields('HP')
FP_SavedFields('ICS2000') FP_SavedFields('Compu_Spread')
FP_SavedFields('Airport')
FP_SavedFields('Madvac') FP_SavedFields('Sweepster')
FP_SavedFields('Stellar')
FP_SavedFields('Diamond') FP_SavedFields('Camel')
FP_SavedFields('OshKosh')
FP_SavedFields('used')
The following comments were entered:
FP_SavedFields('comments')


I need the actual values for all of these. I can get the
output I want if I do not use HTML! Any help would be
appreciated! Thanks

Hi,
I have an ASP form that submitts to a SQL database. I have also
inserted some ASP code on the confirmation page of the form. The ASP code
sends a confirmation e-mail to me after the form is submitted using CDONTS
on my IIS server. The e-mail comes fine and works great. My problem is
with formatting! I have it set up so that all the submitted fields show up
on the e-mail.

The form has multiple checkboxes, so when a box is checked I have the e-mail
formatted so this shows up:

Plows: YES

My problem is when the user does not check the box, the Plows: still shows
up like this:

Plows:

Is it possible to format this so that if the box is not checked then there
is nothing there, so that only the ones checked show up? If all boxes are
checked then the e-mail should show all labels with a "YES" next to them and
if only one is checked then it should show that label only with a "YES" next
to it. I used to use formail.pl in a cgi script and it worked this way. If
you are familiar with formail.pl then this is exactly how I would like it to
work, however the form must post to formail.pl and therefore I would not be
able to post to a database.
My code is as follows:


<%
Set objCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDOMail.To = "darrenwoodbrey@hpfairfield.com"
objCDOMail.From = FP_SavedFields("email")
objCDOMail.Subject = "HPF Web Request Form"
For Each item in FP_SavedFields
strBody = "<b>The following information was submitted via the web request
form:</b> " & VbCrLf & "<BR><BR>" & VbCrLf & FP_SavedFields("name1") &
VbCrLf & FP_SavedFields("name2") & VbCrLf & "<BR>" & VbCrLf &

Next
objCDOMail.Body = strBody
objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
objCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
objCDOMail.Send
Set objCDOMail = Nothing

Thanks in advance for your help!

If the checkbox is not checked, it's not even in the collection. So
basically, you need to say for each one,

if request.form("checkbox_name") <> "" then
strBody = strBody & "checkbox_name: yes"
end if

(Why are you using the "FP_SavedFields" collection? Blecch.)

What else besides the FP_SavedFields would I use. i use the Frontape
DRW and then just enter in a custom SQL query. I do not know much ASP.
Is there a better way to do this?

Yes, find a tutorial and get your hands dirty with ASP. Should take a day
or two at most for common tasks. And you'll learn a lot more, and far fewer
bad habits, by dropping FrontPage to the curb. It's certainly not doing you
any favors.

I found the best way I have found so far is to build the email template in
HTML right off the bat. Anywhere you need to have a field inserted -- just
use something like

%%company%% (the % signs make the text unique, you can use whatever you
want)

Then on the code side you can open the file using a file object and then use
the replace function to get the fields... I use the long version of CDONTS
because I use security credentials on relays within my mail server. If
anyone has a way to do this with the smtpmailer objects - I'm all ears...

(Watch out for word wrapping)

Private Sub....
Dim fs As System.IO.File
Dim sFile As String

sFile = fs.OpenText(Server.MapPath("MailTemplate.html")).R eadToEnd
sFile = Replace(sFile, "%%company%%", Me.txtCo.Text)
sFile = Replace(sFile, "%%contact%%", Me.txtContact.Text)

Dim iMsg As Object
Dim iConf As Object
Dim Flds As Object
iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Flds = iConf.Fields

With Flds

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") =
"mail.myserver.com"

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout"
) = 10

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername") =
"myRelayAccessLogin"

..Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/senduserpassword") =
"myPassword"
.Update()
End With


With iMsg
.Configuration = iConf
.to = "someone@somewhere.com"
.From = Request.Form("txtEmail")
.Subject = "My Information"
.HTMLBody = sFile
Try
.Send()
Catch
Response.Write("Message was not sent - a problem exists with
the server or with the email address you provided.")
End Try
End With
End Sub

Hi Tom,
Take a look at directory c:\winnt\system32 »» win 2000/nt
Take a look at directory c:\windows\system »» win 95/98
and check if cdonts.dll is there, if not copy to there and register it:
regsvr32 cdonts.dll »» register
regsvr32 cdonts.dll /u »» unregister

bye

Use CDO, not cdonts which is obsoleted.

Set mail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set mailConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
with mailConfig.fields
.item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing").value =2
.item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver").value =
"192.168.0.7"

= "somepassword"
' .item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername").value
= "someaccount"
.update
End With

Set mail.Configuration = mailConfig
Mail.To = "someuser@domain.com"
Mail.From = "youremail@blah.com"
mail.Subject ="Test 123"
mail.textbody = "Test 123"
'mail.bodypart.CharSet = "utf-8"

Mail.Send

I have windows small busniess server 2003 standard
edition installed. I purchased e-commerce software which
is configured to be used with microsoft CDONTS. I know
this does not come with 2003 so i copied and loaded the
cdonts.dll file from a 2000 machine and registered it to
my 2003 server. However, emails are still not sending
from my e-commerce software. I am pretty knew to this
stuff so I'm not sure what to do. I contacted the
company which I bought the e-commerce software and they
said the problem lies with my server not their software.
Can anybody help me solve this problem?

thank,
Steve

[Kristofer Gafvert]

CDONTS is not supported on Windows Server 2003. If they sell you software,
and claim that it will work on ´Windows Server 2003, they are doing wrong,
and it is their software where the error lies in.

I would tell them that i wanted a version using CDO instead, since it is
supported.

Anyway, have you looked in the Event Log for error messages?

You might try switching from CDONTS (which is being phased out) to the
newer CDO such as can be seen in the E-mail Attachment example at
[url]http://www.asp101.com/samples[/url]

And here are changes I made to convert CDONTS stuff to be CDO stuff
instead:

o Change objCDONTS to be called objCDO (actually this is just a cosmetic
change)

o This:
Set objCDONTS = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

Changed to this instead:
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

o This:
objCDONTS.Body = strEmailBody

Changed to this instead:
objCDO.TextBody = strEmailBody

o This removed:
' Importance.
' (0=Low, 1=Normal, 2=High)
objCDONTS.Importance = 1

They told me that as long as I loaded the cdonts.dll
file, it should work fine. I'll ask the company again.
How do I check the error Log?

Again I have to put this out there "CDONTS" is working on my 2003 web farm!
It took all of maybe 10 mins to get it working to. It May not be supported
but we don¹t have any problems with it working.

Well, it *should* work fine is not good enough (in my opinion). Since it is
not supported, nobody knows what will happen if you use it, and if it fails
(cdonts), you will not get any support by Microsoft. And besides, i *think*
that it violates the EULA to copy it from another machine.

Start->Run, type eventvwr.msc and press ENTER.

They told me that as long as I loaded the cdonts.dll
file, it should work fine. I'll ask the company again.
How do I check the error Log?

Thanks,

There are several tabs in the event viewer: Application,
Security, System, Directory Service, DNS Server, File
Replication Service.

There are errors in Application, System, and DNS Server.
Which ones are relavant?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

It is very difficult for me to tell, because that would require me to have a
complete list of possible errors. And since we do not yet know the problem,
i can ofcourse not tell you what error message to look for.
